Well after all these months, the kid I got the car from finally got  
me the title so I was able to take it out for it's first real test  
drive.  Amazed at the difference the 4.2 makes.  It had appeared to  
be burning oil before, but after "blowing the cobwebs" out on the  
highway, no smoke even stone cold.(might have also been the extra  
quart of oil that was in it when I got it).  So glad I didn't start  
parting it out.  Since my 4 binder manal set is for the '90 3.6, was  
wondering if anyone knew if all the fault codes/electrical diagnostic  
stuff is the same for both?...I haven't tried to check them yet, and  
the brake light(was empty when I got it) and the coolant light(with  
it's accompanying annyoing beep) are on, and as both appear to be  
fine, hoping resetting will fix...I'll keep you posted....Tom
